Good, Bad, and Best Behavior Locks Down The Conduct Series by Jennifer Lane

You fell in love with McSailor and Bonnie in With Good Behavior. You survived therapy and the Mafia in Bad Behavior. You're invited to a wedding in On Best Behavior, but you have to hope that the Russian Mafia and Grant's Italian family don't keep the groom from getting to the church on time. The exciting conclusion to Jennifer Lane's Conduct Series--On Best Behavior--is available now!

The romantic leads in The Conduct Series are two law-abiding citizens who unwittingly got mixed up with a Mafia capo, Logan Barberi, which led them both to prison sentences.

The story begins as Sophie and Grant are starting parole and attempting to rebuild their lives and their dignity.

Sophie Taylor is a former psychologist who's an intelligent, spunky, strawberry-blond beauty. She has a tendency to open her heart to wounded people, including the "bad-boy" boyfriends littering her past. Grant Madsen is a former Navy lieutenant who’s hard-working and kind, with dark Italian features and stunning crystal-blue eyes. He has a penchant for brooding and self-sacrifice.

Their paths collide outside their parole officer’s door, and both have no idea about the explosive hidden connection waiting for them like a ticking bomb down the road.

Seems like Leo Scott has it all: looks, brains, and athletic talent. He’s captain of his high school swim team with a bright future in college and beyond. But Leo has secrets. His mother’s crippling car accident has devastated his family and left Leo to deal with his father’s abuse, battered and alone.

Leo’s girlfriend Audrey Rose is poised for her own share of success. As one of Florida’s top high school swimmers, Audrey dreams of college swimming stardom. But there’s an obstacle to her glorious rise to the top. Her number-one supporter--her father--is in prison for murder.

Part murder mystery, part tale of young love in a military family, this gripping story takes readers on a journey from Pensacola to Annapolis. Leo and Audrey must band together to rise above the adversity they encounter and find their true selves in the process. When everything’s on the line . . . streamline.

Reader’s Comments

"Our pasts form part of who we are ~ Can we break free; choose to be different? With Good Behavior is a genuine love story with authentic people in frighteningly realistic situations. I fell in love with both Grant and Sophie as they navigated their fledgling relationship: the giggles, the spats, the all-too-familiar fears. Meantime, quietly in the background, the danger draws near….. For those of you who love stories about REAL people with an edge of excitement, this book is for you!" ~ Janine

"Jennifer Lane’s made a smashing entrance to the literary world with her debut novel, With Good Behavior. She does an amazing job of creating rich, diverse characters
that leap off the page. Even the supporting characters were developed
amazingly well. The story is well paced and slowly reveals the various
layers of each character and storyline without losing focus of the deep
and unexpected plot." ~ Lisa Langdale

"Bad Behavior was the
perfect follow-up to a fantastic first book. I loved the idea of getting
to see what happens after the 'happily ever after'. Plus, we get to see
two adults in a mostly healthy relationship trying to figure it all
out. I can't say enough about this book. All the things I loved about
the first one are true about this one as well. I loved that the reader
gets to see how the relationships with each of the main character's
families develop. I loved watching Sophie's dad slowly grow fond of
Grant. It was just fun.
I can't wait for the next one!!! Come on, Jennifer! Hurry it up already!" ~Lydia

"Leo Scott is a student-athlete under a lot of pressure. Most of that pressure comes from his over-bearing abusive father, and he's pretty much on his own in dealing with that. His mother is disabled and incapable of protecting him, his brother moved away, and his girlfriend Audrey has problems of her own (namely her father being in prison for murder!) When a particularly brutal beating lands Leo in the hospital, it pretty much blows things wide open and send this family and everyone in their circle on a different path. A path to finding out about love, family, and the truth." ~Michelle
